Tafsir al-Quran al-Karim — Hafiz Abdus Salam Bin Muhammad Bhutvi

Tafsir al-Quran al-Karim is a 4-volume Quran commentary by Hafiz Abdus Salam bin Muhammad Bhutvi, a renowned Salafi (Ahl al-Hadith) scholar and Sheikh ul-Hadith from Pakistan. Based on over 45 years of teaching and research, this tafsir follows the methodology of Tafsir bil-Ma'thur — interpreting the Quran through authentic Hadith, statements of the Companions, and the understanding of the early generations (Salaf). It is distinguished by its complete avoidance of Israeliyyat (Judeo-Christian narratives) and unverified reports. The tafsir is originally written in Urdu, translated to English by tohed.com.

(Ayah 79){قَالُوْا لَقَدْ عَلِمْتَ مَا لَنَا فِيْ بَنٰتِكَ …:} That is, we have no right in your daughters (as if committing indecency with the incoming male guests is their full right), or it means that we have no interest in women or wives, you already know what we desire, that we are accustomed to such indecency, so do not become an obstacle in our way. From their answer, the full picture of their wickedness becomes clear, and it is evident why they were considered deserving of such punishment that was not sent upon any other nation besides them.

Tafsir Ahsan al-Bayan — Hafiz Salahuddin Yusuf

Tafsir Ahsan al-Bayan is a well-known Quran commentary by Hafiz Salahuddin Yusuf, a renowned Salafi (Ahl al-Hadith) scholar from Pakistan. This tafsir explains the meanings of the Quran in accordance with the methodology of the Salaf (early righteous generations), relying on authentic sources and straightforward language. Due to its reliability and adherence to sound Islamic scholarship, the Saudi government publishes and distributes this tafsir among the Hujjaj (pilgrims) visiting the Haramain. The tafsir is originally written in Urdu, translated to English by tohed.com.

79. 1. That is, they completely rejected a legitimate and natural way, and insisted on unnatural acts and indecency, from which it can be inferred how far that nation had advanced in its evil habit of indecency and how blind they had become.

Tafsir Taiseer ul-Quran — Maulana Abdul Rahman Kilani

Tafsir Taiseer ul-Quran (Facilitation of the Quran) is a comprehensive Quran commentary by Maulana Abdul Rahman Kilani, a renowned Salafi (Ahl al-Hadith) scholar from Pakistan. Known for his eloquent and accessible writing style, Kilani authored this tafsir with a focus on clarity — making Quranic meanings understandable to the common reader. The tafsir provides detailed historical context for verses related to battles and expeditions, and firmly refutes modernist ideologies using strong scriptural evidence. It is widely regarded as an invaluable resource for understanding the Quran and countering deviant interpretations. The tafsir is originally written in Urdu, translated to English by tohed.com.

They said, "You certainly know that we have no interest [89] in your daughters, and you know well what we want."

[89] That is, the temperament of this nation had become so corrupted and their moral decline had reached such an extent that they had lost all interest in benefiting from lawful acts. All their interests had become focused solely on the abhorrent, forbidden, and unnatural act of sodomy. And when a nation not only becomes accustomed to forbidden acts but also takes interest and pride in them, then the only cure for such a nation is to wipe it off the face of existence and purify Allah’s earth from such filth.
